HSLayers.Control.ArgParser

Parses the URL of the application and fine-tunes the applications initial state. HSLayers.Control.ArgParser is little bit more advanced, then the standard OpenLayers.Control.ArgParser.

It is able to parse (beside the things, OpenLayers version is able to parse)

pincoords

adds google-like Pin with Popup bouble and description

markers

adds just the markers without bouble

vectors

render vectors in WKT into the map

ows

parse WMS or WFS get capabilities

cgimapserver

add new layer to the map of type mapserver-cgi with specified parameters.

Code example

// create vector layer for possible vector features
var vlayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("vector layer",{displayInLayerSwitcher: false});

// create marker layer for possible markers
var mlayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Marker("marker layer",{displayInLayerSwitcher: false});

// create the argparser control
var argparser = new HSLayers.Control.ArgParser({
            vlayer: vlayer,
            mlayer: mlayer,

            // what should be done when...
            handlers: {
                ows: function(url) {
                    // do something
                    }
            },
            scope: this
            });

map.addControl(argparser);
